Today started out as a pretty good day. Ran with the Huntsman Heros and saw a lot of familiar faces and some new ones. At the end of the run, another runner in the park came over and wanted to say, “Thanks,” because she was going to HCI for a chemo treatment in an hour. It’s always nice to see that the fundraising you are doing is helping someone.
But the day turned grim later, when I found out that another friend got a cancer diagnosis.
Every time you hear the news it’s like a punch to the stomach and even if the prognosis is good it never gets easier to hear. So I spent the day thinking about what I could take a picture of that would adequately express or show what I have really been pondering today. I know that words are inadequate, so I fell short on the goal today. But the fact remains that there are a lot of people who feel this way and are committed to keep doing what they can until a cure is found.
Cancer sucks.
